Private credit · Fintech 3.0

Working capital for the companies moving money onto digital rails.

Contribution Private provides revolving credit facilities to payment fintechs that run on stablecoins and blockchain settlement — underwritten with institutional credit discipline and monitored on-chain.

The market gap

Payment volume is growing faster than the balance sheets behind it.

01

Cross-border fiat is migrating

A new generation of payment companies settles cross-border flows over stablecoins and crypto rails. The opportunity is the fiat volume moving across, not stablecoin volume alone.

02

Traditional lenders stay out

Collateral, cash flows and controls sit on-chain, outside conventional credit frameworks. Few lenders are equipped to underwrite them.

03

They struggle to grow

Payment volume needs working capital behind it. Without a credit facility, growth is capped by how much equity a company can tie up.

What we lend

Revolving facilities, one borrower at a time.

We provide working-capital facilities to digital-asset-enabled payment fintechs. Each facility sits in its own vehicle, so investors see exactly which borrower they are financing.

Evergreen revolving credit

Working capital that turns with the borrower's payment volume.

Deal-by-deal vehicles

A dedicated series per borrower rather than a blind pool.

Delaware structure

A Delaware limited partnership in master-series form, with segregated series.

Proprietary sourcing

Borrowers come through the partners' venture and credit-infrastructure networks in the sector.

Underwriting approach

Rating-agency rigor, applied to on-chain businesses.

Every borrower is assessed along its full payment value chain and across four risk pillars before a facility is approved, then monitored continuously.

Pillar 1

Management

Track record, integrity and governance of the team running the business.

Pillar 2

Business

Model, counterparties and position in the payment value chain.

Pillar 3

Operating & system

Smart-contract and protocol risk, signer rights, stablecoin redemption and freeze risk.

Pillar 4

Financial & liquidity

Seniority, first-loss coverage, recourse and loan-to-value buffer.

Governance

Bankruptcy-remote vehicles, step-in rights and multisig control over admin keys — with forward-looking credit indicators tracked on-chain.
